Merry Christmas from the BMS president


Dear all,

2012 has been a good year for the BMS, with closer ties to sister societies, adoption of Microcirculation as ‘our’ journal, and a very successful annual meeting in Oxford. Next year promises to be just as exciting!

We start with a variation on our annual meeting, with an Early Career Investigator symposium next April (http://www.microcirculation.org.uk/assets/BMS2013poster-251012.pdf), which I hope all our postgrad and postdoc members will attend. There is a great programme arranged, and a smashing venue. Abstract deadline 31st Jan.

You must book a slot in your diary for the IUPS meeting in July (http://www.iups2013.org/) at which the BMS will have a large presence, sponsoring a number of events. We will hold our AGM there, so please help support your society by promoting our activities. As the national society, we shall be acting as hosts for the ESM/EVBO components (http://www.microcirculation.org.uk/27esm7evbo/index.html), which means there will be many symposia that will appeal to our members interests. Deadline for abstracts is again 31st Jan.

We will pass on more news in the coming months, but it just remains to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Stuart Egginton
BMS President
